Be it lnown that I, GIW. DEWEESE, of Lima, in the county-of Allen, andin the State of Ohio, have invented an Improvement in Cultiv'ators, bymeans of'which -the handles may be adapted to be held convenientlyeither by a boy or a tall man; and I do hereby declare lthat thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact f description thereof, referencebeing had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, inwhich- Figure 1- is a plan or top view, and V Figure 2 a side elevationof a cultivator showing my improvement.

A A, are the draught-beams of the implement, and BiB'are the ploughs orshovels thereof.A To the draughtbeams are attached arms C, terminatingin handles a, secured by the screw-bolts b b, so that said arms maybefree to'vibrate up and down. On the fr ont ends of the arms C aresegments D, having their centres in the bolts b, through whichsegmentsare two or more holes c c. The screw-bolts d d, or their equivalents,pass through one of the holes in the clevises, and through holes in thedraught-beams B, holding the arms C and `their handles at the properaltitude. l i
